Sunbonnet Sue & Overall Sam Crochet

These adorable patterns of Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam are Annie’s originals. Instructions are written for pillows, afghans, dolls, pot holders and keychain dolls. Each design is stitched using worsted-weight yarn.

Love the look of the Sunbonnet Sue and Sam design I have one question before ordering, is it crocheted completely as you work the square or do you have to do needlework to add the figures to the squares afterwards?

Lynda - For this pattern you begin by crocheting Sam or Sue, depending on the block you are working on. Then you move on to crocheting the background of the block. The only needle work is done when adding a few sections of Sue and Sam together before starting the background and joining all of the blocks together to create the afghan. The pillow does have more joining involved when creating Sam or Sue than the afghan does.

I made this pattern up when my first child was 5 years old (she is 33 now). I entered it in the Texas State Fair and it won a 1st place ribbon. It was a fun pattern and I'm glad to see it's still available as a download. I still have the original glossy patterns for both Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam. Now that I have grandchildren, I'll be breaking out the pattern again.

I have not as yet purchased Owl Sleepsack or Sunbonnet Sue crochet pattern, just about to check out. I have the Sunbonnet Sue quilting book. It is so lovely. What I would like to know is when I have made the items, crochet or quilting, would I be allowed to sell them online or at craft fairs?
